Atari has announced a publishing agreement with AQ Interactive for the upcoming action title Bullet Witch.

Developed by Japan-based Cavia, Bullet Witch is a destruction laden third-person action title set on a bleak planet earth in the year 2013. The human race is on the eve of extinction, and with an army of hideous demons causing widespread destruction it's up to Alicia, a witch blessed with magical skills and big gun, to prevent the end of humanity.

"We are very pleased to announce this partnership with AQ Interactive Inc. and look forward to working with them on Bullet Witch and beyond," said Nique Fajors, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Atari, Inc. "To offer an engaging and unique title such as Bullet Witch to kick start our partnership underlines Atari's commitment to bringing interesting and different titles to gamers all over the world."

The game features elements inspired by American horror and Japanese fantasy monsters, and players can cause massive environmental damage and destruction by using magic and devastating weapons. Atari will support the game post-release with downloadable content, such as character costumes and extra levels.

Bullet Witch is yet another great game that will be appearing on the Xbox 360. Atari did a really great thing for the videogame industry and their shareholders when they decided to release this game exclusively for the Xbox 360. This will allow the game to take special advantage of Xbox 360 graphics and sound features that can be optimized for its hardware. The Xbox 360 hardware is an established platform that is very successful; the sales revenue and profit is a virtual guarantee...assuming the quality of the game does live up to the amazing level of hype it is currently receiving. The screenshots look amazing, and the fact that this game is similar to Devil May Cry in many ways seems to indicate that Atari has a real winner on their hands with Bullet Witch.
